520 | |a This new edition by Tony Burke will be essential for all future study of the so-called Infancy Gospel of Thomas. Professor Burke has produced critical editions with facing English translations of each of the three versions of this apocryphon as it is transmitted in Syriac. Although pride of place continues to be given to the Greek version of this apocryphon, since this was the language of its original composition, the Syriac tradition is in fact no less important, since it transmits versions of this apocryphon in manuscripts as old as the fourth century.The translations and the presentation of the apparatus are very user friendly. In addition to critical editions, the volume also includes a synopsis of all three versions in Syriac and English. This is an invaluable tool for comparing these different witnesses to a very early version of this text. The volume begins with a brief but adequate introduction to the history of scholarship on the Syriac version of this apocryphon. Following this is a thorough inventory of Syriac manuscripts transmitting the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. A surprise bonus in the edition, not signalled on the cover, is a new critical edition of the Arabic Infancy Gospel as well, along with an English translation, both done by Slavomír Čéplö. This addition greatly enhances the value of this volume for scholars who are studying the infancy gospels. | ||
